GENEROSITY...
Generosity is powerful... It changes the life of the giver and the world around them. At Hope Church Sittingbourne we are passionate about living generously as a whole community. We understand that our mission to impact Sittingbourne, Swale and the world beyond can not be achieved without it.
We value stewardship... We believe that everything we have belongs to God and we are only looking after, or are stewards of what He has entrusted to us individually and as families. It is with this in mind that we encourage people to give regularly and generously in proportion to their income. It takes sustained resources to fulfil all that God has called us to do, so let's each be asking God what we can do to faithfully play our part in resourcing our mission together.
Many give directly from their bank account by regular standing order. Giving in this way means that those who have responsibility for looking after the finances have the benefit of knowing that an assured amount will be available each month. Tithing (giving 10% of our income) is a commitment that many of us have decided to undertake in faith.
If you are a UK tax payer, please complete our Gift Aid form by clicking on the button below. Gift Aid is a government initiative which means that if you are a UK tax payer, for every £1 you give, we can claim an extra 25p from the HMRC at no extra cost to you - This makes your giving go much further!

GIFT AID IT - TAX EFFICIENT GIVING
Gift Aid is a government initiative which means that if you are a UK tax payer, for every £1 you give, we can claim an extra 25p from the HMRC at no extra cost to you - This makes your gift go much further! In order for us to claim, please complete our online Gift Aid declaration below. Please remember to inform us if any of your details change, or if you cease to be a UK tax payer. Am I eligible to sign up for Gift Aid? In each year you need to have paid tax equal to the amount we will reclaim - currently 25p for every £1 you donate. Both Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax qualify. And it doesn't matter what rate of tax you pay, just the overall amount of tax that you have paid. For example: If you gave us £100, we would claim back £25, so you need to have paid just £25 tax in that year. I have already agreed to Gift Aid for another Charity, do I have to sign up again? Yes, you need to give separate permission for Gift Aid to each charity you support. Can I Gift Aid if I am a pensioner? As a pensioner you may still pay tax on a private pension plan or savings account, or you may pay capital gains tax if you sell property or shares. As long as you have paid enough tax during the year to cover your donations, you can Gift Aid them. If you have any queries or require further information, please email info@hopesittingbourne.org Please complete the following: Please notify the charity if you:
If you pay Income Tax at the higher rate or an additional rate and you want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
